Hello! As a current MBA candidate at The Wharton School and a former Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), I bring a wealth of experience in navigating stressful application processes. My professional journey started at Cornell University, which led me to strategy and operations at JPMorgan Chase & Co. After college, I had a side hustle where I coached high school and college students through college admissions and consulting interview prep (the website is still live if you can find it!). I've successfully coached 20+ clients through the college and consulting application processes, and I'm excited to bring my knowledge and experience to help aspiring MBAs. I have had an incredible experience so far at Wharton, and seek out opportunities for servant leadership and learning, such as being selected as a McNulty Venture Fellow (leading leadership-focused outdoor expeditions globally) and working part-time as a Financial Wellness Peer Educator. Let's work together to craft a standout application that highlights your unique strengths and aspirations. Reach out to start your journey to a top MBA program!

I am a 2021 Wharton graduate, with 2 years of professional MBA coaching experience. During my MBA, I coached 15+ MBA students with career guidance, resume critiques, and interview prep. I first encountered MBA coaching when I was applying to matriculate as an MBA in 2019. At that time, I realized how important an MBA coach could be, not only for the specialized toolset and knowledge base, but also for the encouragement during a high pressure application process. I am motivated to be that source of calm and focus during what can otherwise be a stressful application process. I am excited to dive into your background and help you uncover a narrative that will help you show you stand out to top MBA programs.

I have over 17+ years of higher education experience and 9 years at Columbia University, serving as a former Director of MBA/EMBA Admissions, and Senior Associate Director for the Columbia Business School Real Estate Center and Alumni Development. I simplify the process with tailored guidance, personalized strategy, and insights earned as a former M7 Admissions Director, helping you build a narrative that feels true to you and compelling to admissions committees. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here and I'd love to help you build successful applications with real results.
